[QUOTE="OpenWindow, post: 33805, member: 45"] We just had difficult child's parent/teacher conference yesterday and they finally admitted that difficult child is getting his best grade during social studies, the only period he has a one-on-one aide. He gets his work done at school and never has homework. I think they are all seeing that he needs more individualized attention than they can give him. I have documented at both IEP meetings we've had since his one-on-one was moved, his schoolwork and behavior has gotten worse. I think they're finally coming around to admitting it. His teacher has promised now that she will email me with specifics on his homework and any big projects that are due, in addition to putting it in his agenda. I think she realized that she dropped the ball by not mentioning it in his agenda - she sent a handout home with him and assumed it would get to me. She had to turn grades in for 9 weeks, but is seeing if it's possible to change his grade after he turns in the assignment. I think (after a couple of emails back and forth to her and his resource room teacher) that she's coming around again to realizing he can't maintain control at this point and we can't expect him to always make the best choices. We also decided, and as much as I hate it I suggested it, that difficult child doesn't get to go out after lunch for free time or during physical activity time (otherwise known as recess!). He just gets into too much trouble there and then brings it back to class. It doesn't matter to difficult child, because he'd rather stay in class and read or go to the library, so it won't be viewed as a punishment. We are scheduling an IEP meeting in May - earlier if things don't improve with the renewed push to help him themselves. They haven't given in to the idea of a one-on-one aide for him all day (probably because they don't have anyone available), but I'm pretty sure they'll agree to settomg up many more supports next year when it goes to full-fledged middle school.
